New Tricks (BBC 2003-2015 with James Bolam, Amanda Redman, Dennis Waterman)

Published

on


Crime drama series New Tricks took the Cold Case took it’s natural extreme by bringing out of retirement a group of ageing detectives to tackle vintage cases. The series began with a 90 minute pilot which saw Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman put in charge of a special new police unit dedicated to investigating unsolved murders – she is not overly pleased with her new squad though as they are made up of a trio of retired ex-tecss who have a very different 1970’s style attitude to policing. Ladies man Gerry Standing is only back because he need the cash to support his numerous ex-wifes, Brian Lane has a photographic memory when it comes to facts and figures and Jack Halford has never really been able to settle into retirement.

A nicely enjoyable series New Tricks became one of the BBC’s most popular and dependable shows over the course of almost a decade, the last few seasons saw too many cast changes however by 2015 it was clear the show had run it’s course.

There was a gap of almost a year between the broadcast of the pilot and the beginning of the series.
